- Archival history:
- The fonds was originally held by the City Hall of Satu Mare. It was transferred to the Satu Mare County division of the Romanian National Archives, where it was inventoried and made available to researchers.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- After 1945 the county of Satu Mare was organised according to the pattern of the Romanian administration from the inter-war period. In 1948, after the Communist regime was installed, the counties were replaced by so-called regions which included districts. The former county of Satu Mare became part of the Baia Mare region and the city of Satu Mare became the centre of a district with the same name, including 88 localities. In 1960 the region of Baia Mare received the name of Maramureş and functioned as such until the administrative reform of 1968 when the counties were restored and Satu Mare became again the centre of a county with this name. Until then the district Satu Mare and its subordinate localities were administered by the elected Popular Council in all aspects - administrative, economic, social, cultural, health and social assistance.
